Three months out! Thank you to everyone who has read, shared, and championed THE SCRAPBOOK. I know how rare it is for a debut novel to get this kind of attention, and I’m very grateful. I didn’t think the book would be so timely when I wrote it. I wish it wasn’t. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/b...

I picked up "The Scrapbook" by @heatherclarkauthor.bsky.social in Ireland last week. I've just finished it, and it really is quite the best novel I've read in many years.
